CONTEC 5-in-1 Blood Lipid Analyzer User Manual

Models: CMS40A, CMS40A-BU

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the CONTEC Blood Lipid Analyzer. This device is designed for the quantitative measurement of Total Cholesterol (TC), High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL), and Triglycerides (TG) in peripheral or venous whole blood. It also calculates Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and the TC/HDL ratio. This analyzer is suitable for both self-testing by non-professional users and use by professional medical staff.

The analyzer utilizes a photochemical principle, where the color intensity developed on the BL-01 Blood Lipid Test Strip is proportional to the concentration of the filtered blood cells.
